1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The probability that epitope spreading occurs in multiple sclerosis (MS) and the fact that patients have been shown to respond to multiple myelin epitopes concurrently makes the use of peptide-specific tolerance therapies targeting single epitopes problematic. To attempt to overcome this limitation, we have employed cocktails of peptides in the ECDI coupled-APC tolerance system in mice to determine if T cell responses to multiple autoepitopes can be targeted simultaneously. Preventative tolerance induced with splenocytes coupled with a peptide cocktail of four distinct encephalitogenic epitopes (PLP(139-151), PLP(178-191), MBP(84-104), and MOG(92-106)) inhibited initiation of active EAE induced with each individual peptide and by a mixture of the four peptides by preventing activation of autoreactive Th1 cells and subsequent infiltration of inflammatory cells into the CNS. Most relevant to treatment of clinical MS, therapeutic tolerance initiated by splenocytes coupled with the peptide cocktail administered at the peak of acute disease prevented clinical relapses due to epitope spreading and ameliorated a diverse disease induced with a mixture of the four peptides. Interestingly, therapeutic tolerance appeared to be mediated by a mechanism distinct from preventative tolerance, i.e. by significantly increasing the levels of production of the anti-inflammatory cytokines TGF-beta and/or IL-10 in both the periphery and the CNS.
